33 days and counting...

I love vacations. I love planning for them, packing for them, the excitement of the day before you leave. I love it all (I know a bit strange), and when you first jump in your car, leaving your 'normal' life behind for a few days, I get that adventurous feeling that nothing could stop me now.

33 days until we jet-set. Emmett's first American vacation (can't say his first American adventure, since I'm pretty sure that's past - or maybe in process - who knows!). At any rate, I'm looking at the suitcases, and wondering how early is too early to start thinking of packing?

This vacation is a little different, since my entire family will be joining us! It's the reunion we've been hinting around about for about 5 years (well at least since P & B got married, and not they have a baby!?) Speaking of babies... this family reunion consists of 21 people - 8 of which are too young to drive. 6 of the 8 can't ride most of the big rides at your local amuzement park! And at least 3 haven't mastered walking yet. Well maybe Baby G.E. has got that down now! This should be interesting. I can't wait!

There is something that gives this vacation a little more excitement, and it's because it is with family. I realize I am blessed to have a family that gets along well enough to commit to spending 6 days together! I hear so many people complain about family feuds and quarrels, and I'm sure that there have been some in the past of my family, but nothing can stop us now...

Look out undisclosed town... You're in for an invasion!
